Is the balance of the channel safe if I set unilateraltimeout to 0 and go offline when mutually closing the channel?
I run a core lighning node with a couple of private, single-founded channels. Because of my circumstances my node is usually online for a couple of hours every three days or so. I want to mutually close one of my lightning channels, and am thinking of running:
lightning-cli -k "id=${scid}" unilateraltimeout=10800 feerange=[2000, normal]
where scid
is the short_channel_id
of the channel to be closed. I set unilateraltimeout
to 10800
seconds, i.e. 3 hours. I consider also setting the parameter to 0 or skipping it (it then defaults to 48 hours) Is it safe to set unilateraltimeout
to 0
and go offline when mutually closing the channel?
